The next land will focus on our favorite big eared baby elephant. And will be the first land dedicated to just Dumbo and his Circus friends. There will be no other characters represented in this, but them. The attractions are themed not only to the movie, but also his television show. The land would look like a 1940’s circus and carnival has come to town and setup tents and walkup booths everywhere.
Dumbo: Big Top Flight
----- (rail-suspended dark ride, similar to peter pan)
----- (Soar over spectators and the country side with Dumbo, the Flying Elephant. Seeing many of the characters from the film like Casey Jr., the Black Crows and Timothy Q. Mouse. There’s no way of knowing where Dumbo will go next.)
Dumbo Splashdown
----- (log flume, similar to splash mountain)
----- (This ride would focus on life behind the scenes at the circus. Where the training happens for the show. Clowns and sideshow actors abound throughout the attraction. Sometimes just in their leisure time, reading a newspaper or sleeping. You really get a glimpse into how much Clown Dumbo trains for his debut performance.)
----- (The Circus crew is a little tough on the poor elephant. Even the other Elephants seem to be mean to him. So he goes to his mother who consoles him with a rendition of “Baby Mine.” To prove himself to the clowns and everyone else Dumbo scales a building that’s on fire (just like in the movie). You even smell the firewood as you proceed closer to the very top. Then the attraction culminates with a deep dive into a pool of water.)
Casey Junior’s Circus Train
----- (rollercoaster, similar to big thunder railroad)
----- (Casey Junior the steam engine is one of the pivotal characters from the film. Because there would be no circus without him. He’s the one who gets the circus to different parts of the country for happy spectators. For the scenes in this attraction he goes through the mountains and along high bridges. Like any other anthropomorphic train though he eventually gets tired. So he slows and speeds up at different times throughout. When he chants “I think I can” he reaches his fastest speeds. Along the journey you see townsfolk and children playing. They wave in your direction happy to see you’ve come to their town.)
Timothy’s Fun Wheel
----- (ferris wheel, similar to regular versions)
----- (Young Dumbo’s friend and trainer gets his own attraction. In this carnival style “off the shelf” ride which helps you soar like Dumbo himself.)
Circus Friends Carousel
----- (carousel, similar to prince charming’s)
----- (Instead of the usual version that is at many of the other castle parks throughout the world. This version would showcase the different circus animals not named Dumbo. It fits the theming more than the typical Dumbo aerial carousel. Because the land is meant to look like an actual circus and not just a theme park land with attractions thrown together. It would have more of an emphasis on the big top and circus music than say Prince Charming’s version.)
Circus Games
----- (similar to dinoland u.s.a.)
----- (A chances section themed after the Dumbo characters from the movie. Like the familiar clown balloon and race track games. The latter would be flying dumbos rather than the usual horses though.)
Dumbo’s Circus
----- (theatre in the round, similar to tiki room)
----- (Just like in the new 1985 television series, which airs on the Disney Channel. Dumbo has grown up and is finally able to speak. He has struck out on his own to begin his own circus with a new set of friends. He and a cast of characters fly from town to town, in a wagon pulled through the air by Dumbo, performing their "Greatest little show on earth". You’re in luck though because they’ve decided to stay in town for many more performances.)

--- (with Dumbo, Lionel, Fair Dinkum, Barnaby, Lilli and Q.T.)
